My Soul to Lose

It was supposed to be a fun day, shopping at the mall with her best friend. Then the panic attack started and Kaylee Cavanaugh finds herself screaming, unable to stop. Her secret fears are exposed, and it's the worst day of her life....Until she wakes up in the psychiatric unit. She tries to convince everyone she's fine--despite the shadows she sees forming around another patient and the urge to scream which comes burbling up again and again.

A beautifully crafted vignette!

I'm not sure what other reviewers were expecting when they downloaded this free, two hour short story. I began listening with no expectations whatsoe..Show More »ver, without even having read the description (free is free, after all) and was enrapt, start to finish.

For such a short piece, a great deal of care goes into developing the main character and her relationships with those close to her. The author doesn't beat you over the head with it, but uses a delicate touch, which may be unsatisfying for certain types of people.

This is an absorbing, brilliantly executed portrait of a teenage girl in situation that would be, for anyone, strange to say the least. To complain that she seemed 'whiny' is to miss the point entirely -- a failure of imagination, at best. In her shoes, the rest of us would likely fare as well.

Much to my delight, this is merely a prologue of sorts to an ongoing series by the author, and I will be purchasing subsequent books on the authority of this work alone.

My Soul to Lose

It was supposed to be a fun day, shopping at the mall with her best friend. Then the panic attack started and Kaylee Cavanaugh finds herself screaming, unable to stop. Her secret fears are exposed, and it's the worst day of her life ... until she wakes up in the psychiatric unit. She tries to convince everyone she's fine - despite the shadows she sees forming around another patient and the urge to scream that comes burbling up again and again. Everyone thinks she's crazy. Everyone except Lydia, that is. Another patient with some special abilities....

Soul

The story has no end, so I assume you have to buy all the books in the series?

My Soul to Take: Soul Screamers, Book 1

Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next.

Surprisingly Good

Kaylee Cavanaugh knows there is something wrong with her. Maybe she's even dying. She can definitely tell when people around her are about to die. Unf..Show More »ortunately, all she can do when she senses their imminent death is scream at the top of her lungs. And now, Kaylee's caught the attention of the hottest guy in school and she can't even enjoy it because teenage girls are dropping dead all around her. I won't go into exactly what Kaylee's powers are so that I don't spoil it for anybody who decides to listen.

I just finished listening to this book and really enjoyed it. It's definitely a teen book but it was fun. Once the story got to going, I wanted to sit in the driveway and keep listening to the book. It's narrated by Amanda Ronconi. She was fantastic. I think half of what made this such a good listen was her narrating skills.

My Soul to Save: Soul Screamers, Book 2

Kaylee Cavanaugh screams, someone dies. So when teen pop star Eden croaks onstage and Kaylee doesn't wail, she knows something is dead wrong. She can't cry for someone who has no soul.

Loved it!

I have been looking forward to this book since I finished the first one, and I was not disappointed!

I am in my 30's, and though this is ..Show More »for YA readers, I really enjoyed it. There is some of the expected teenage angst/lust etc, but it's not over the top. :)

What I have really enjoyed is the plot of each book - I don't want to give anything away, but Rachel Vincent really has put together a storyline that is quite different from other supernatural Sci Fi... if you are a little tired of vampires, witches, and were's, then you need to listen to these!

My Soul to Keep: Soul Screamers, Book 3

Kaylee has one addiction: her very hot, very popular boyfriend, Nash. A banshee like Kaylee, Nash understands her like no one else. Nothing can come between them. Until something does. Demon breath. No, not the toothpaste-challenged kind. The Netherworld kind.

Good Listen

In this installment of the Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent, Kaylee and her boyfriend, Nash, discover that someone is selling demon's breath to..Show More » their fellow high school students as the newest and coolest drug. And, people are dying. Now, they're in a race to find the culprit before someone else dies. Not to mention that Kaylee's world gets shattered when things hit way too close to home and she's forced to make decisions no person should have to face.

I get more and more invested in these characters with every book. This one was my favorite of the books. Hopefully, Rachel Vincent does not intend on ending the series any time soon as I could easily pick up the next book and start listening right now. I think that Rachel Vincent does a very good job of developing the characters with each book. This time, I found myself wishing for something to happen that I never would have suspected but, alas, I can't tell you what that is or I might spoil things for somebody. Now, if somebody's read them and wants to talk, let me know. Oh, yeah, Amanda Roncini does an excellent job narrating as well.

Fearless

Fearless is Sabine's first appearance in the Soul Screamers world and takes place before My Soul to Steal. Fearless is a novella from Soul Screamers Vol. 4. The final collection of New York Times best-selling author Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series is packed with emotion, with intrigue, with secrets, with family and above all, with love.

Read BEFORE My Soul to Steal!!! *SPOILERS*

Great novella to add to the Soul Screamers series but you should read this before book 4, My Soul to Steal.

*****SPOILERS*****

..Show More »If you read My Soul to Steal first you are introduced to Sabine with no back story and it's hard to be sympathetic to that character. Reading Fearless first gives you a different perspective on her and may allow you not to see her as the heartless troublemaker she seems to be in My Soul to Steal. Which I read them in that order, instead it took me awhile to give Sabine a chance to be more than an thorn in Kaylee's side and an unnecessary distraction to Nash.

My Soul to Steal

Trying to work things out with Nash, her maybe boyfriend, is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

Prepare for Emotional Torture

Yes, I loved the other three books, but the first half of this one is a heavy dose of emotional torture. The angst, jealousy, and fear is palpable an..Show More »d painful. I was ready to give up this series. Nash's xgirlfriend is a nightmare, literally, and I could have dealt with that if he wasn't such a royal pain in the butt as well. Even Todd is spouting crap disguised as wisdom. In the second half, the author lets us in on her clever little twist involving the Hellion of Envy, but by that time I almost didn't care anymore if Kaylee kept Nash or gave him up to Sabine and since that issue was never really resolved we have to wait for the next book.

Reaper: A Soul Screamers Novella

Tod Hudson was a typical teenager. He liked girls, sports, food and tolerated his younger brother, Nash. In fact, he had his whole life in front of him--and due to his bean sidhe heritage, it was going to be a very long life indeed. And then the car accident occurred.

Nice Backstory

But be aware that the narrator is different from the main books. Nash sounds like an idiot stoner and it put me off a bit.

If I Die

The entire school's talking about the gorgeous new math teacher, Mr. Beck. Everyone except Kaylee Cavanaugh. After all, Kaylee’s no ordinary high-school junior. She's a banshee - she screams when someone dies. But the next scream might be for Kaylee. Yeah, it's a shock to her, too. So to distract herself, Kaylee's going to save every girl in school. Because that hot new teacher is really an incubus who feeds on the desire of unsuspecting students.

Best of the series!

Everything from the previous books comes together to make this Soul Screamers novel the best one yet. From start to finish it's packed with eyebrow-ra..Show More »ising action, heart-thumping emotion, and torturous suspense. If you've been following this series this is a must read!

Never to Sleep

Sophie Cavanaugh is not going to let her freak of a cousin's strange psychiatric condition ruin high school for them both. Not after all the work she's put into cultivating the right look and friends and reputation. But then Sophie sees something so frightening she lets out a blood-curdling scream - and finds herself stuck in a bizarre parallel world where nothing is safe and deadly creatures lurk just out of sight, waiting for her to close her eyes and sleep...forever. Could this world be real?

Read after if I die!

So do I have enjoyed all the books in the series. I just wish they labeled better when these smaller books take place!Also for the length of the ..Show More »story audible is charging way too much!!!

Before I Wake

Covering up her own murder was one thing, but faking life is much harder than Kaylee Cavanaugh expected. After weeks spent "recovering", she's back in school, fighting to stay visible to the human world, struggling to fit in with her friends and planning time alone with her new reaper boyfriend. But to earn her keep in the human world, Kaylee must reclaim stolen souls, and when her first assignment brings her face-to-face with an old foe, she knows the game has changed.

With All My Soul: Soul Screamers, Book 10

After not really surviving her junior year (does "undead" count as survival?), Kaylee Cavanaugh has vowed to take back her school from the hellions causing all the trouble. She's going to find a way to turn the incarnations of Avarice, Envy, and Vanity against one another in order to protect her friends and finish this war, once and forever.

Have the tissue handy

This is a real emotional tear jerker. A lot of personal growth, simply brilliant! I can't wait to listen to this series all over again. Ronconi doe..Show More »s a perfect job and brings so many facets to the performance.

Last Request

Last Request is a brand-new story set between the second to last and last chapters of With All My Soul. Told between Tod and Nash's point of view, as they try to grant the last request Kaylee never had a chance to ask for.

Last Request

While I adore Amanda Ronconi as a narrator, she is firmly fixated in my mind as "Kaylee", so I kept forgetting I was listening to the story from the P..Show More »OV of Tod or Nash. I would have preferred a male narrator...the one who did Reaper would have been a good choice. I didn't deduct stars for this though, as I cannot fault the narration otherwise. The story was great, as I expected it would be...the whole series is fantastic.
